British board facing legal challenge

The Luxembourg Boxing Federation have issued legal proceedings against the British Boxing Board of Control in the latest twist in the row over the decision to stage a controversial bout between British heavyweights David Haye and Dereck Chisora.

The fight, due to take place at Upton Park in east London on July 14, has been sanctioned by the Luxembourg federation, with neither Haye nor Chisora currently licensed by the BBBofC.
